So even Digital Ocean's selling point is actually worse than Linode. Classic.

Between this, no IPV6 (in 2014, really?), censorship and the security fails, nobody should use Digital Ocean.



I wouldn't say that faster I/O is Digital Ocean's selling point - it's the price. If your bottleneck is I/O then you probably need more RAM, which Digital Ocean offers for 50% cheaper than Linode.

Regarding your other points, personally I'm not affected by the lack of IPv6 support (yet), and I don't know anybody else who is. I also think it's rich mentioning censorship and security considering Linode's history.


> personally I'm not affected by the lack of IPv6 support

Doesn't make it any less embarrassing though.

For me personally, no provider is worth a second look that only provides legacy connectivity.
